Are the various terms and agreements that currently disallow this
published anywhere?
After a brief look (perhaps I missed it) at:
http://twitter.com/apirules
http://twitter.com/tos
http://help.twitter.com/forums/26257/entries/18311
As far as I can tell there isn't anything that explicitly disallows
resyndicating
or making Twitter data available via an API.
The TOS also states:
Tip: This license is you authorizing us to make your Tweets available to
the rest of the world and to let others do the same.
Tip: We encourage and permit broad re-use of Content. The Twitter API
exists to enable this.
thanks

Not at the moment, as we expect that the number of services that this will
apply to is small. We'll be clarifying data access and licensing over the
next few months.

Your application description sounds like resyndication, which is not
allowed under various terms and agreements. You cannot make Twitter data
available via an API unless a very specific set of requirements are adhered
to. Contact a...@twitter.com to start this process.

For the last 3 months I am experimenting the Search API. I'm focusing
on the geo-location searching capabilities.
For the beginning I started with my own city, but my intents are to
extend to the major cities of my country: that will be at most ten. My
idea of application is to offer real-time activity on each major city,
through a proxy that caches all tweets and then serves them further to
clients, filtered or non-filtered. Frequency of requests should be
between 5 to 10 seconds, and that means I should do between 400 to 800
requests per hour just for one city, and probably between 4000 to 8000
requests for the whole application.
My questions are:
1). Should I use Search API, or should I move to the Streaming API?!
2). To whom I should request whitelisting: the usual Search API or the
Streaming API?!
Thanks!
